[nflug] wireless access point

[Cyber Source]

Thanks for the input guys. I already am aware of the "blockage" problem. 
I was mainly asking what criteria to look for in a wireless access point 
that denotes quality. I don't want to shop with just assuming that "you 
get what you pay for". I would like to know what to look for when 
shopping for a quality high performance wireless access point. Thanks
